However, travelers can choose accommodation of a completely different kind, such as tourist camping or, if they still want to live in luxury, glamping in the desert, which is a cross between a bedouin camp, space camp and palace chambers. Moreover, tourists can stay at a classic hotel at quite bargain prices.
